This is all you need to know about the House of Nanking:

If you've never been, the owner will take your menus and just start serving you food. It's an experience I'll never forget! The food is plentiful and delicious!

Bonus: it's right around the corner from North Beach so you can drink off your meal at Tosca. One of my favourite San Francisco meals. Worth the wait!
